THE 2007 HAMPSHIRE LMC CHRISTMAS LUNCH
Sunday 16th December 2007.
After a very successful event last Christmas, when we had 50 people attending (the maximum that can be accommodated!) the Hampshire area meeting is once again hosting the very popular Hampshire Christmas Lunch on Sunday 16th December 2007, arrive 12.30 for 1.00pm. The lunch is being held at our regular meeting place, The Bartley Lodge Hotel, off the A377, at Cadnam, near J1 of M27 in the New Forest. Those who have attended before will already know that the hotel manages to deliver an excellent meal in a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere in a beautiful wood panelled room that really captures the spirit of Christmas.
What’s more the price is just £16.00 per person (the same as last year!). I will need firm bookings, with names, their menu choices and payment by Wednesday 5th December 2007.
